Syrian opposition and the Jabhat Fatah Al-Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front, keep receiving enforcements through the border with Turkey, Ilya Rogachev, the head of the Department for New Challenges and Threats (DNCT) at the Russian Foreign Ministry, said Friday.

“We see that the opposition in general and Jabhat Fatah Al-Sham in particular keep receiving enforcements through the Syrian-Turkish border… This and other issues create uncertainty in the relations with the Americans,” Rogachev told RIA Novosti.

He added that Jabhat Fatah Al-Sham, banned in Russia, is constantly maneuvering, takes in new opposition forces, makes new coalitions to blend in with the so-called moderate opposition.
